CALegration is an all-in-one software pack-age designed to control the latest MTE test equipment product line, including the recording and evaluation of meter and measurement data.

CALegration bundles the functionalities and advantages in one brand new and compre-hensive software package.

®

®

l Manual control module for testing various individual functions such as meter test, recording of load values, detection of installation errors and many more

l Prepared for power quality testing and analysis functions according to IEC 62586 and IEC 61000-4-30 for specific MTE devices

l Transparent evaluation and presentation of results, statistics and schematic diagrams of all relevant values in an individual created protocol

l Modular system allows the integration of customer specified applications

l Suitable for use with various hardware combinations

l Data export in standard format (e.g. MS Ex-cel)

l Operator interface available in several languages and in different color profiles

CALegration combines the various functional modules required in modern stationary and portable test devices, with a common and consistent user interface.

The modular system allows control of various hardware units with a common software platform.

Automatic meter testing

Automatic meter tests are executed in three steps:

1. The user defines the meter and meter type, the test point elements and the test procedures

2. The test is executed and the results are storedin the database

3. The results can be presented in a simple testresults form, or be post-processed for thepresentation in form of a report

®

Covering all requirements of the modern meter testing environment CALegration also provides the flexibility to easily incorporate future meter testing requirements.

Tests can be carried out for simple or highly complex meters (smart meters) in accordance with the customers requirements and national / international test and calibration regulations (e.g. PTB, IEC, BS, ANSI).

Advantages of CALegration

l Reduced complexity due to an all-in-one software for the entire MTE product portfolio

l User-friendly operations and clearly arranged user interface making the system easy understandable, also to operators with limited computer knowledge

l SQL based database with stable access, organized backups, extended database size and server installation support

l Full database interchange between portable ®

devices and CALegration with control of portable functions by external PC

l Flexible access to database and fast storage and interchange of new testing data packages

l Fully-automatic test sequences for meter testing with clearly laid out database structure

Meter and meter type definition

For the tariff device communication, a communi-cation module is assigned to the meter types. This defines the data to be selected or program-med plus the dispatching commands, adaptable by the customer, makes the fully automatic examination of high-functional meters and tariff devices possible.

The basic version supports the communication protocol in accordance with IEC 62056-21 Mode C standard. As an additional option the communi-cation protocol is prepared according to dlms / COSEM.

The meter and meter type definition function is used to define and administrate any kind of meters. The meter type definition contains the electrical und functional definitions of meters under test (connection values, meter constants registers etc.). The type definitions can further be called up and allocated to the meter stock / inventory of the customer (meter name, manu-facturer number etc.).

Test procedure

In addition to the respective test method (e.g. error measurement, register tests etc.) each checkpoint can be linked with control commands. Control commands display for instance instruc-tions to the operator, switching of tariff relays or dispatching of commands.

A test procedure or test sequence describes the order and content of different test point elements in a whole procedure. For each test step the desired source settings (current, voltage, phase angle, frequency etc.), st settings (e.g. error measurement) and control functions (e.g. auto-matic meter readout) can be specified.

te

Meter testing

By undertaking an automatic test the user allo-cates to each active measurement position a meter type and selects a test procedure. Subse-quently the user will comfortably be guided through the test.

The actual status of the test and active test point is clearly indicated at all times.

It is also possible to display simultaneously the actual test values, wave forms and results in their own windows using large, easily visible and con-figurable fonts.

Accessories

Scanning heads

The SH 2003 and SH 11 photoelectric scanning heads are suitable for use with both LED impulses from static / electronic meters and also for detecting the marks on mechanical rotating disc meters plus simulated pulses on LCD displays (SH 11). The choice of operation mode with mechanical or electronic meters is made by a simple selection switch.

With the integrated teach function of the scanning head SH 11, the optimal set-up is automatically learned. The teach function can be activated by the rotary switch or an external control signal.

Error evaluation system

The modular evaluation system SMM 400 performs error calculation, testing of emitting contacts and communication to tariff device units to the meter under test.

Four different versions covering customer´s requirements are available.
